Fibre Mood Maya Dress

Buy the Maya Dress sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. Maya is a super feminine A-line dress that hugs your body. The short sleeves with their pleat design create volume and interest, and there are so many possibilities with these sleeves. For instance, you could leave the pleat allowance on the inside (subtle volume), feature the pleat allowance on the outside (genuine statement sleeves), or go for a combination of the two (a playful effect). Maya has an invisible zip at the back. Lengthening and shortening this dress is a breeze.

– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these. The PDF files will be emailed immediately after purchase, and the A0 pattern sheets will be dispatched next working day). What is Copy Shop?

Suggested fabrics: The sturdy texture of cotton twill or denim will add structure to this clean, minimalist look. Prefer poplin, linen, or Tencel? Go for it! The designer does not recommend very thin or fluid fabrics as the effect of the pleats will be lost.

Fabric requirements: 110 cm wide fabric (sizes EU 32 - 38 / UK 4 - 10 only): 315 – 335 cm // 140 cm wide fabric: 250 – 345 cm.

Maya should be made in a fabric of 140 cm wide for sizes EU 40 - 58 / UK 12 - 30, because pattern piece 1 does not fit on a fabric that is 110 cm wide.

Sizing: EU 32 – 58 / US 0 – 26 / UK 4 – 30 (approx. UK 6 – 26/28, based on our standardised size chart). Please also check the designer’s size chart and pattern measurements.

Notions: Thread; iron-on interfacing, 10 cm; hook and eye closure; invisible zip, 60 cm.

PDF pattern includes: Step-by-step illustrated instructions; A4/US letter print-at-home pattern (41 pages); A0 copy shop pattern (3 sheets); projector pattern.

Note: Seam allowances are included in this pattern. The copy shop file we print for you shows the cutting lines only (not cutting lines and stitching lines) to make it easier to know what size to cut out.
